  • Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Yep. I've said this before, but I don't understand how a community that only provides links to external communities is supposed to help Lemmy grow, as opposed to taking people away 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • People with aphantasia, how does it affect your book reading?

    Jump

  • I really enjoy reading, but I can't picture a scene, or what characters look like. It can be a bit confusing at times, but doesn't usually take away from the enjoyment.

    As an example, my favourite sci fi author Randolph Lalonde (great independent author, buy his books 👍) had a scene in a recent book where some characters had a shootout in a warehouse that held several spaceships. The ships were all at least a few metres long, so the warehouse was huge. In my head, everything was centred on a small area around the characters, and I could sort of picture them being within a few feet of each other.

    I couldn't picture any details, it was as if he had written that 'the man stood near the woman, and pointed the gun towards the crates', even though the scene was well written with good descriptions. My brain couldn't translate the description into a layout in my head.

    I still really enjoyed the scene, but every now and then it was as if my brain realised that things should be further apart, or one character should be taller than another, for example.

  • Right now I'm working myself up, I'm in the 4-5 range. How many pills do you plan on taking when you're older?

    Jump

  • I'm currently on 18 in the morning, and 9 in the evening. I have eyedrops twice a day too. I'm in my mid forties now, so will almost certainly increase that number as I get older.

  • My wife recently planted lavender at the front of our house to stop the cats who occasionally crapped there. In the week since, we've had probably four times as much...
